European Healthcare Expenditure on Curative Care and Rehabilitative Care by Providers of Ambulatory Health Care by Country

In 2023, Germany led in healthcare expenditure on curative and rehabilitative care by providers of ambulatory healthcare, representing the highest share of GDP among European countries analyzed. Slovenia, Portugal, and Latvia showed notable year-on-year increases, reflecting a growing emphasis on outpatient care. The data reveal that Baltic states and parts of the Balkans are experiencing substantial investments or shifts in healthcare strategies, focusing more on outpatient services.

Future trends to watch include an increasing focus on outpatient and community-based healthcare solutions across Europe. This area is expected to expand, driven by technological advancements and efforts to enhance healthcare accessibility and efficiency. Furthermore, demographic changes, such as aging populations, may spur further investments and reforms in outpatient care services.
